4.2 Using MacTalk to setup the motor
4.2.8 Register Workspace Pad
The Register Workspace Pad is activated via the [!] button in the Watch Registers window.
See figure on the previous page.
The Register Workspace Pad presents all the defined registers in the motor. All these reg-
isters can be selected and added to the Watch Registers window.
[Add...]
Button enables adding of non-predefined motor registers.
Beware the limitation of these registers. If the register number is larger than 511, it will
not be part of the normal MacTalk® configuration. It is however possible to save the
Watch Registers via the [Save...] button and later use [Open...] to reinsert the register
set.
[Read...]
Reads and presents all the selected motor registers.
[Write...]
Opens a dialogue where the highlighted motor register is presented for writing. For ob-
vious reasons, only Writeable registers will change their values. The write dialogue is
straight forward to alter a Decimal/Binary register value.
An underlying calculator can be used for simple calculations such as: + - * /, but also for
more complex arithmetic: left/right rotation and many other operations.
[Dump...]
Creates a file containing all register values read from the motor. The file is a plain ASCII
file and looks more or less as the Register Workspace Pad content.
[Edit...] and [Delete]
Only valid for user defined registers.
[Clear]
Clears the content of all register values. (Not the register selection)
[Add Watch]
Adds all the selected registers to the Watch Registers window.
[Open...]
Opens a previously saved register selection list.
[Save...]
Save a register selection list inclusive the user added registers.
[Received]
Presents all register values received since the start of MacTalk®.
4.2.9 Watch register value
Via double clicking on the value in the watch window a Watch Register Magnifier pops up.
This window shows the actual value of the register. Select between DEC, HEX, BIN or
OCT under Settings->Value Format.
Via Settings->Capture->Start is it possible to follow the value of the register in a graphical
representation.
Sampling of data can be set-up to be based upon changes or on a timer.
Captured data can be saved to a file (Text or CSV) via File->Save Captured as...
